HOW Pepperm1nt rs Raised.

Along the banks of Ganargua river,
which flows through the southern portion
of Wayne county, may be seen at this
season of the year large fields of green
colored plants about eight inches in hight
extending over an extensive area. To
botan1st mentha peperita Is the name by
which 1t is known, but to the world in
general it is peppermint. In this compare
lively small area seven-eighths of all the
peppermint in the world is raised. The
low. mucky land, is plowed in the spring.
liz Is then laid off in burrows eighteen
inches apart, and sets, portions of old
plants, are planted closely together in the
row. This is done early in April The
roots are transplanted every other year.
1t takes about eight square rods of roots
as they lie upon the ground to plant am
acre. The roots that are planted this
after the crop is gathered, will be trans
planted in every other row for next years
crop The first years crop is always the
best, because the plant is then the freest
from weeds. Usually they are allowed to
run only two years, after which the
ground is plowed under. When the plants
have grown to about two and one-half
feet in hight they ripen.
The harvest begins usually in the last
of August It is cut like clover with a
cradle, and raked into cocks, when it is

to the distillery. The process of distilla-
ton continues to the last of October. The
plant is brought from the fields in large
wagons and tightly packed in steam
tight watts. The steam is let into the bot
tom of the vat, and the oil from the
plants thus voIitalized The oily yapor
and steam pass through a condensing
worm into receiver, where the oil, be-
e lighter than water, is clipped off and is
then put IN TN cans holding twenty
pounds and taken to the refinery, where
it is refined and put into twenty-one ounce
bottles in a case, labeled and shipped to
all parts of the civilized world.-Cor. Buff

Prerenting the Eseape Of crimtnal..

The difficulty of preventing the escape
of criminals has at all times grieved the
friends of Justice, but the most radical So
luton of the problem has probably been
devised in Gazi, a seaport town claimed
by both the Emir of Belang and the sui
tan of Zanzibar. According to a cores
pendent the municipal authorities, who
enjoy local autonomy, have for years
saved the expense of burglar-proof jails

Trial by Ordeal in Russia.

a curious survival of ordeal supersti-
ton still prevails to very large extent in
southern Russia. When a theft is COM
mitted in household the servants are
summoned together and sorceress is sent
for. Should no confession be made by the
guilty party the sorceress rolls up as
many little balls of bread as there are
suspected persons present. She then
takes one of these balls, and addressing
the nearest servant, uses this formula:
off you have committed the theft the ball
will sink to the bottom of the vase, but if
you are innocent it will float on the
water" The accuracy of this trial, how
is seldom tested, as the guilty person in
variably cOnfesses before his turn arrives
to undergo the ordeal--Chambers' Jour
nal

The Pena1tx OF Position.

The pictorial treasures of the great Eng
lsh houses are accessible to the public,
but l once passed through stately castle
in which ! was a stranger, and determined
never to repeat the experience, Tor the
kousekeeper took me into rooms where
the work baskets of the ladies still Uttered
the tables; the very books they had been
reading were left Enclosed, and l saw
their rustling garments leaving by one
door as / entered at another. The Thought
that l had driven the family from their
own occupations or amusements marred
all the pleasure received. 1t happened a
few days afterward that I was invited
TO the same house, and l told the ladies
how guilty felt for my intrusion But
they forgave me.
For the high English are very generous
about their works of art, their parks,
their mansions, their historical collec-
tions. Nearly all give them up on one
day of the week to the world. They call
it "show day." the house is show
house" and the annoyance Of the exh1bl-
ton must be very considerable. But they
take this as they do the publicity OF all
their life, their exposure to observation
and criticism-as the penalty of their posi-
ton. They expect to be conspicuous, 70
have their houses examined, their private
history known. Their lineage is set down
in the peerage, and the age of every great
lady is declared in the books for all the
world to read. Not few recognize that
they have obligations because of theil
rank and their grandeur. Not only are
they willing that their pictures ano
statuary shall be seen, but the poor otter
have a day in the week when they may
hold picnics in the park. Even the queen
with all her love of seclusion, allow:
Windsor castle to be inspected when sh'
is not there, and privileged strangers ma!
visit her private apartments, a stretch o
good nRturn which not many democrat
would emulate.--Adam Badeau's Letter
